I had about 35 hours on one charge and that's restarting the Kindle multiple times to playing with fonts and a firmware update. I have to say the PW battery life is the best I have seen.

Yeah, it's not bad, is it?

Just wish that aside from the battery symbol to indicate its level of charge that there was also a percentage indicator. Whatever, it'll do.

Even if the thing needed charging every two or three days I wouldn't mind. I have a charger plugged in next to the bed and any number of leads/plug packs in the family area/study, as well as one or two in my work bag and at work, so I'm never going to be away from somewhere where I need to charge it.

I'll just plug it in every few days to top it up. Presumably the LiPol batteries can handle this sort of cycling.
